or from a <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html" target="_top">mirror site</a>.
</p>
      <p>The current release of the Kawa source code is
<a class="ulink" href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-2.92_invoke.tar.gz" target="_top">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-2.92_invoke.tar.gz</a>.

        <p>The Kawa sources are managed using a

If you want the very latest version grab
<a class="ulink" href="https://git-scm.com/downloads" target="_top">a git client</a>,
and then check out the source using this command:
</p>
        <pre class="screen">git clone https://gitlab.com/kashell/Kawa.git
</pre>
        <p>After a checkout you will need to run:
</p>
        <pre class="screen">./autogen.sh
</pre>
        <p>before proceding with instructions for <a class="link" href="Source-distribution.xhtml" title="Installing and using the source distribution">building the source distribution</a>.
</p>
        <p>Once you have it checked out, you can keep it up-to-date with <code class="literal">git pull</code>.
</p>
        <p>You can also
<a class="ulink" href="https://gitlab.com/kashell/Kawa/tree/master" target="_top">browse the git archive</a> online.
